Fly Ball Mechanic Question

New Guy? If the BU stays outside the baseline, does the BU base the timing of the tag up on the PU catch signal?

Better not! Watch the ball until just before the touch/catch, then watch the runner(s). There is a delay between the actual touch and the signal, let alone hearing a verbal.

Not sure if you were referencing me or not on this post. I didn't do a good job of clarifying I was meaning with no one on base and a base hit to the left side. My bad.
